Austria: Lower Acreage and Production Expectations for Austrian Arable Crops in 2020

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Latest official data show a small decline (-0.3 percent) of Austrian arable crops acreage in 2020 compared to the previous year. Persistent drought during winter and spring reduces yields particularly in the eastern regions of Austria. Total Austrian grains production is expected to be about 6 percent lower in 2020 than in 2019. This is due to the slight reduction in acreage and lower yield expectations caused by unfavorable weather conditions, mainly the drought. However, there are large regional differences reported across Austria. In the eastern regions, precipitation came too late for crops to reach their full yield potential. However, good yields are expected in the western and southern regions.
